THE COUNTY FAIB
1 M
. / A * v . ->?. *';V*
The following editorial from the
Dearborn Independent, in glowing
terms sets forth just how great an
institution ii the county fair and what
it means to a community. What the
Dearborn paper says of the county
fair in general might well be applied
to our own Pitt county fair, which
opens in Greenville next Tuesday:
- ? I _ 1
"The- harvest moon, yenow as a.
new cheese, rides high in the heavens.
The sun sinks 1ft shrouded majesty,
lighting a canopy of clouds banked in
the west. A haunting mist softens
the lines of the high board fence, the
grand stand and the judges stand at
the race track. The twin lights of
hundreds of automobiles are gently
' * * -f "
blurred like stars beneath a filmy
cloud. The evening breeze wafts the
scent of new cut com across the
country. All is in readiness for to
morrow's county fair. For weeks the
children and their parents have been
looking forward to the event. The
women folk have been canning fruit
and making pickles for the exhibit ?
? The men have fed and groomed the
colt, the calf and the shorthorn. To
morrow is the big day. In the house
holds and in the fields and barns care
ful preparations have been made for
the scheduled competitive e. rnts.
Here, also, will be a great open fo
rum for the discussion of the issues
Which interest the farmer folk. The.
astute campaigner for county office
will be. bustling about'with the pro
verbial, box of cigars under one arm,
the other free to lift little. Johnny
Jones and his sister to his knee while
he praises them to their parents.
Properly done, this means two votes
and maybe more. The displa* _ in the
agricultural hail arc properly arrang
ed as'-weB the exhibits of.new
- chinery 'and-other mechanics devices.
The'County fair fef a great "institution.
